Citizens weigh in on public safety

Citizens are letting their local government know their outlook on public safety through a 21-question survey that went out last week.

The survey was sent to city of Sisters residents in their utility bill. The City of Sisters contracts with the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office for law enforcement services and it is city property owners who fund that contract through their tax dollars. The contract is for $611,849, which, according to the City, represents over half of the property tax revenue within the city.

That contract is up for renewal.

Those who live outside the city limits were invited to share their opinions with City Manager Corey Misley at [email protected]
